Dissonants is the third album by Australian rock band Hands Like Houses, released on February 27, 2016. It was preceded by the singles "I Am", released on March 15 and "New Romantics", released on October 2, 2015. The album follows the band's sophomore studio album, Unimagine (2013), and debuted at No. 7 on the ARIA Albums chart. It is the first album to not feature keyboardist Jamal Sabet who left the band back in 2014 to pursue other musical endeavours. In the week of March 29, 2016, "Colourblind" debuted on the US Active Rock chart at No. 49.[1]

Background

Hands Like Houses began recording the album in April 2015. The band worked with James Paul Wisner, whom they had previously worked with on their sophomore effort, Unimagine (2013). After about two months, the band said that the album was near completion. During an interview with ppcorn.com, guitarist Alex Pearson gave a tentative October release date for the album.[2]

Despite a few setbacks, including the cancellation of a headline UK tour in November 2015, the band announced on December 18, 2015 that the album would be released on February 26, 2016 and unveiled the album's full track listing and artwork.[3] The band performed two free acoustic performances with signings in Australia upon the album's release.
